"What are you after?" Otta frowned.

"Pursue what? No, no, my friend, you made a mistake." Smiling furiously, he waved his fingers

"The focus is not on the result, but on the process. Some people will do anything for the sake of the result, and some people will do nothing for the sake of the means, and I belong to the latter."

He waved his hand lightly, and a light blue crack appeared in front of them

"Go in and face your fate and future."

Chapter 28. The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta

In 492 BC, a mighty war broke out in the Mediterranean.

The king of the Persian Empire, Darius I, sent an army of one million seven years ago to attack Greece from land and sea, hoping to conquer the source of civilization in Europe and achieve the huge territory of the Persian Empire across Europe and Asia.

The invasion of Darius I ended in failure. The fleet of this ambitious king was first destroyed by a hurricane at the Cape of Athos, and he was also attacked by the Thracians on land and was forced to retreat.

Not reconciled to failure, Darius I assembled 400 warships for an expedition to Greece. However, under the two-day 246-kilometer marathon of the long-distance runner Philippedes, he connected the Greek cities and established the Delian League, and fought against the Persian army on the Marathon Plain. In the end, he won a complete victory with an incredible battle loss ratio of 162:6400, and Darius I was also attacked by the Athenian consul Mistocles on the way to retreat, and died with an arrow through his heart.

The more civilized, stronger, and more disciplined Persian Empire fell to pieces in Greece time and time again.

There is no doubt that this is full of strangeness and mysteries, because whether it is the cross-country long-distance running marathon that exceeds the normal endurance level of human beings, and the 10,000 motley troops that are loosely pulled together to repel 50,000 Persian elites, or the Persian Empire. The fleet capsized on the sea several times, and everything is full of legendary charm.

But behind the legend, there is often some kind of incredible but despicable mysterious power.

When Darius I was dying, he asked his heir, the cowardly Xerxes, not to repeat his own mistakes, not to attack Greece, and let them fend for themselves, because only the gods can defeat the Greeks.

After the death of Darius I, his favorite general, the ambitious Artemisia, told the grieving Xerxes that Darius I meant to become a god-king and then conquer Greece.

Xerxes, who was wrapped in the gauze of Siri soaked in the ancient potion, walked on the wilderness of Persia. The fever and high temperature destroyed this weak child.

Finally he came to a mysterious place, he stepped into the golden pool, and when he reappeared, his eyes were as scarlet as burning coals, and his body was lingering with divine light, Artemisia Killed everyone who had ever had contact with Xerxes. Those he loved, those whom he loved, and all who knew of Xerxes' past, were dead.

Athens, Sparta, Thebes, Mycenae... Xerxes swore that all the Greek city-states that had made him suffer shame and suffering would kneel before him!

Even the high gods of Olympus, because he, Xerxes, is already the king of gods!

And now, Xerxes was reborn as the king of gods, and with millions of soldiers, he once again launched an attack on Greece. Artemisia and the sea attacked Athens, and Xerxes, with his invincible army of immortals, attacked Thermopylae.

Standing in front of them is the Kingdom of Sparta, which has always been famous for its military.

Sparta implements the cruelest elimination mechanism. Weak children will be abandoned at birth. Every Spartan child must undergo military training and be taken away from their parents at the age of seven to live in the barracks until They became honorable members of Sparta.

Xerxes sent his envoy to Sparta, the arrogant envoy told the king of Leonidas, offer the land and water of Sparta, kneel down to the god king, Xerxes will give Greece to Leonidas .

Leonidas' answer was to kick the messenger into the deep well of Sparta, let him fetch the water of Sparta, and let him be buried in the soil of Sparta.

Xerxes vowed to break through every piece of land in Sparta and sprinkle coarse salt on every piece of farmland. The elders prevented Leonidas from mobilizing the Spartan army, so he could only take 300 elite "retrained inner guards" to guard Thermopylae Pass.

And now, the great King Xerxes has brought the army of darkness, and the coldness and darkness of the Immortal Army will freeze the entire Thermopylae. Choose a side.

To conquer Sparta, or to resist Xerxes.

Is it to kill Xerxes, the king of gods, or to destroy the three hundred warriors of Sparta.

It was such a choice before Loki and Freya's family.

After "watching" the entire "movie" of the Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta, Finn scratched his face with a confused look on his face

The TV is very epic and very entertaining, especially the segment where King Leonidas kneels down and throws a spear at King Xerxes, which can be said to be exciting and exciting.

But he really didn't understand what Fury wanted to do by bringing them to such a 'strange' place, and to be honest, he never knew that there was a place called Sparta and Persia in this world.

But Finn, who had heard the main god Loki mentioned the "mysterious man" background of Rampage, had some thoughts in his heart.

But in any case, the first thing before them is to solve this task.

Main task (choose one): Help the Persian Empire destroy the 300 warriors of Sparta and kill King Leonidas or help King Leonidas repel Xerxes' army and kill King Xerxes

Task success reward: unknown, task failure penalty: unknown

There is such a simple sentence on each of their watches. But now that the initiative is no longer in their hands, even the most impulsive among them will not want to let this 'job' fail.

They have all been reduced to fish meat on other people's sticky boards. If you don't want to die, don't you have to obediently obey other people's orders?

"Needless to say? Of course we want to help Sparta!" Allen touched his spear, eager to try

Although Leonidas is a mortal man, his performance in the "movie" undoubtedly conquered Alan, a real man, a man who is exciting, king and rebel!

Allen's words were naturally recognized by most people, and King Leonida's performance in this movie was naturally flawless. The image of a person who rebelled against the powerful King Xerxes for the country, for the family, and for everything he loves, but finally fell short because of the betrayal of the despicable villain, is naturally extremely regrettable.

This high-scoring movie by Zack Snyder naturally has a great appeal in this era when most heroic stories are dictated, and the image of Leonidas is more in line with the posture of a hero in their minds.

Even though they all knew it was false, they all hoped to change Leonidas sad fate.

"I don't think so." Hedin was the first to raise an objection.

The white goblin pushed his glasses. They were now on the edge of the cliff at Thermopylae. On one side was the Persian army fighting with hundreds of ships, and on the other side were three hundred Spartan warriors waiting in full battle.

"From the plot of this story, there is no doubt that King Xerxes is far stronger than Sparta. If we choose to help Sparta, it means supporting the weak against the strong."

"So what?" Allen spat disdainfully.

"It's just a group of ordinary people, just like Ragia's 'army' that attacks Orari every year, or even worse, it's not difficult to break through them!"

"But don't forget, what is the purpose of the people who put us into this 'story'." Finn said lightly

"His purpose is not to kill us, nor is it to let us experience the fun of changing the story. If I'm not wrong, he... wants to show Lord Loki and God Freya something."

There is no need to hide such a thing now, Finn looked at Ota, the strongest adventurer in the city exhaled lightly, took out the Oriha Kongo Taisao on his waist, and said lightly

"Finn is right. Lady Freya told me before she left that she would observe every word and deed here through the crystal ball. She believes that that person must not be simply destroying something, and even releasing that girl is an act of wrongdoing." An invitation from her."

"He wants to overtake us and convey some inconvenient words to Lord Freya and God Loki!"

"If it's inconvenient to convey..." Hedin pushed his glasses thoughtfully

There is no doubt that the only channel that can "bypass" a strong man who can easily eliminate the two major families in the city is Uranus, the Lord God of the guild.

Bypassing the GM of this family game to contact the two biggest players in the game, it seems predictable what he wants to do.

"He wants to show something that interests Freya-sama." Ota said lightly.

"Something that makes god-o feel interesting, novel, and more attention-grabbing... Finn is right, if the story is really that simple, it certainly doesn't deserve to be an 'interesting' story ' and exist."

"I agree with Hedin's idea. We should choose Xerxes' side. No matter what his purpose is, successfully completing this 'task' should be beneficial and harmless to us."

Under Ota's leadership, the rest of the Freya family obeyed unconditionally. And the Loki family is similar, Finn's prestige and wisdom are enough to convince them without reservation.

"Then, choose to help the Persian Empire eliminate the three hundred warriors of Sparta and kill King Leonidas!"

With Finn's choice, the light screen on the watch slowly dissipated, but replaced by a new pair of options.

"Please select your strength limit level, note:

High strength limit (reduced by three levels) is the original difficulty.

The low power limit (down one level) is Spartan difficulty.

No strength limit is the difficulty of the gods!

Chapter 29. Meeting Xerxes

Before Finn and the others, it was another difficult decision.

Should you limit your strength to perform tasks?

Undoubtedly, it would be unacceptable for them to take the initiative to weaken themselves. After all, things like making themselves weak are chained.

For example, Riveria, if she is asked to lower her level by three levels, the linkage effect may not be as simple as a decrease in magic power.

The nine spells released in conjunction with her ability 'Fairy King Sing' are largely dependent on the magic attributes brought by her high level. If the level drops simultaneously, the magic will not only be unable to be released, even the third level The magic release will become extremely difficult.

The same is true for other family members. Take Finn as an example, if he lowers his level by three levels, once the "Fierce Magic Gun" he holds is released, he will not only lose his sanity. easy.

This is the same as when you play RPG games. The drop in your level will not only bring about a drop in attributes, but also you will not be able to equip all the equipment that you could equip before, and the blow will be very fatal.

These high-level adventurers never thought that their level would suddenly drop, so it was impossible to carry low-level props and equipment.

And the supporters didn't bring it for this hasty march...it was extremely bad in every way.

Finn put his hand on the final difficulty of the gods with an ugly face. Before he could say anything, the pleasant and wicked voice of Fury came from the watch.

"Under the difficulty of the gods, the strength of the enemy and one's own side will be greatly improved. They will show their true power beyond the story. At the same time, they will also unlock their own hidden worldviews."

"Under the difficulty of the gods, you will receive special additional rewards. After accepting the mission, you will be able to take away part of the rewards that belong to this world. Of course, the premise is that you complete your mission."

"Under the watchful eyes of your respective gods, win glory for them, warriors of the gods!"

The next moment, the light screen of the watch exploded like gorgeous fireworks, and time began to flow.

"Damn it, that guy is really shameless!" Allen cursed unhappily

"There is no way, let's see what he wants to do." Ota said lightly, carrying the Tyrannical Sword on his shoulder

Not far away, the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground sounded, and a tall Persian sat proudly on horseback. It was not the black image used to blacken Persians in movies, but a man with a hooked nose, black hair and green eyes. Caucasian, looks proud but polite gesture.

Aside from the gold rings in his ears, that thing looks like it would hurt your ears.

"Soldiers from the Western Continent, the great King Xerxes summons you!"

Finn and Otta glanced at each other, and Otta took a step forward. After all, in front of this relatively primitive civilization, tall men are more suitable as the face of the team.

"Then please lead the way."

...

Xerxes’ camp was extravagant. The huge throne and steps made of pure gold were several times larger than a circus tent. Countless golden candlesticks studded with precious gems burned luxurious incense.

The most indispensable thing in each place of the tent is the beauties of all ethnic groups, from the beauties of Persia, to the beauties of Greece, and then to other countries and regions. How many countries have been destroyed by the Persian army, and how many beauties are there.

Their dresses are revealing and provocative, with gold, silver and gem crystal bracelets and anklets, and their postures are charming and charming. The only thing they have in common is probably the collars and chains around their necks, which represent their status as slaves.

Here, princesses from ten countries serve Xerxes as slaves. These countries use their most noble women to curry favor with the King of Kings, demonstrating the supreme majesty of the God-King.

When Ota and his party walked into the tent, the musician with the sheep's head began to pull the weird huqin, the slaves in the Aegean Sea beat the fast-paced tambourine, and the female slaves danced their bodies provocatively, having sex with others crazily, and the air. Together with the incense in it, everything here is like an illusion.

The environment here is so bold and provocative that even the sisters of Amazon blushed and bowed their heads silently, and even the family members who served Freya felt that they didn't know where to put their eyes in such an extremely provocative situation.

It can only be said that Xerxes really knows how to play. Compared with his gameplay, the Happy Street run by the Olarista family is simply weak!

"Shameless!" Riveria spat with a blushing face, and hugged Aisi's head to tell her not to look at these dirty people's eyes.

Ota didn't change his face, but stepped forward and came to the center of the camp first.

On the top of the huge, luxurious throne, where every step is made of pure gold, sits a lazy figure.

Tall, strong, lazy, noble.

This is not at all like the stupid puppet in the 'movie' who was manipulated by the sky, arrogant and arrogant.

Eyes as scarlet as burning charcoal looked at the visitors under the throne, and complex and mysterious patterns were written on the honey-colored skin. A lot of dazzling gold ornaments were worn on his body, and his tall and fit body showed his beauty carelessly like an ancient Greek sculpture.

This is a king who exudes confidence, nobility, and a powerful aura all over his body.

God of Gods, King of Kings, Xerxes the Great of Persia

"Are you soldiers from the Western Continent?"

Xerxes looked at the adventurer Olalie below with his scarlet eyes, his voice was lazy and hoarse, but with a fascinating charm

"Yes, the venerable King Xerxes." Otta and Finn stepped forward and bowed slightly.

"We believe in the great God Freya (God Loki), and follow the will of the gods to help the king of the gods take down the three hundred warriors of Sparta?"

"Interesting, Nordic believers will come to help me attack Greece?"

Xerxes looked at them with interest, narrowed his eyes and said
